I'm experiencing Edinburgh Fringe for the first time and it's like being transported to an alternate world where the only form of entertainment is live theater

"average person has 3 musical children" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person has only 0.05 musical child. Von Trapp Georg, who lives in Austria & has seven musical children, is an outlier and should not have been counted

Mom, Dad & their 19 babies drinking some water from a backyard pond. These are Gambel's Quail (Callipepla gambelii) in the Catalina Foothills of Arizona. Let's ask why they drink via the 'sip-and-tilt' method... (📷: Desert Critters of Arizona via YT)

This Danville, VA city council candidate made a very dramatic video about sidewalks and public safety, and I love it and him. Worrying about a possible milkshake duck situation, I looked at his FB page, but he seems ok. Juneteenth celebrations, community outreach, Methodists. A solid old gent.

Anti-Prime Day starts…NOW! 🥳 Today through 6/26, enjoy free standard shipping site-wide, all while supporting local, independent bookstores.

"Google One Premium" is now called "Google AI Plus" in what I can only assume is a move to discourage me from keeping my subscription to some google drive storage.

Heartbreaking. And a wake-up call. It is no longer about being difficult to find a way to sustain yourself through your work online. It is no longer sustainable to keep a website up now. Axel has done so much for the web and all of us. Buy one of his books if you can. We've learned so much from him.

2ality blog: temporarily offline

Dear visitor! Two things happened recently:

- The income from my book sales went from being enough for me to live off (2024) to zero (2026).
- The traffic to my blog and my books (which were free to read online) increased beyond what I can currently afford. Virtually all of it comes from AI crawlers, so there is no ad income.

Therefore, I’m taking my blog and my books offline so that I can decide what to do next – especially w.r.t. AI companies stealing my work. This may take a while (think months): I don’t have any energy to deal with this right now.

I apologize for this (hopefully temporary) inconvenience to my human readers! You can still buy my books at Payhip.

1/ I’m still processing what’s going on in tech at the moment. I used to feel at home in that world. It used to feel incredibly creative and positive. Now it’s increasingly full of bugs, dark addicting patterns and AI slop. 2ality.com
